In this episode, I’m revisiting DADA, a compound I first talked about a couple years ago, and giving you my updated thoughts now that I’ve personally used it for a long time. I break down what DADA actually is, how it works as a metabolic modulator, and why I view it as one of the most underrated performance-enhancing tools in this category. To me, it feels very similar to MOTS-c in practice, but in some cases it may even give a stronger performance edge.

I walk through the mechanism behind DADA, including how it affects PDK and PDH to improve mitochondrial energy production, glucose oxidation, ATP output, and metabolic flexibility. I also explain why I think many people notice better training endurance, better pumps, improved cardio capacity, and the ability to push harder before hitting that wall of fatigue and lactate buildup.

I also cover the human data we do have, especially around liver health, fatty liver disease, and lipid markers, along with how I personally think about dosing, why I prefer injectable use for performance, and where people need to be careful not to overdo it. This is an updated, practical breakdown of why DADA has become a staple in my own routine.
